I have taken Subject X in Ycool and it barely had enough subtsance but only because they were doing it wrong.

facepalm Why is it always the same problem? Absolutely no one seems happy with schools! They aren't optimized for anything! Waaahahahhhyyyy?

you might take more time finding the book rather than reading it

It'd have to be a mighty short book, mind you :P I'd rather say that it might take too much time for me to bother looking for it in the first place, or, in the worst cases, I might forget about its existence wholesale.
